The recruitment industry is changing – it’s no longer just about processing CVs and taking phone calls. Candidates want more from their recruiter – they’re after more personable service and a commitment to hiring for their personality as well as their expertise. This is especially important when it comes to looking for a GP role in a new country.

”Your Doctor Jobs is about friendly service. We want to find you the dream job, no matter what it takes.”

Health care recruitment with a difference is about matching yourself with a recruiter who will put your needs above any other concern.

Why use a recruitment service?

Finding the right physician position you will enjoy and learn from is important, especially when you are joining a medical centre on a permanent placement. Using a recruitment service makes matching yourself to that one dream job easier because:



• Access to more jobs: Recruiters have a wider pool of jobs to call upon – it’s unlikely you’ll find the full breadth of available GP roles online alone.
• Insider info: They can offer industry insight in submitting the best job application possible. Recruiters can also advise on interview techniques to improve your chance of success.
• Expert negotiation skills: Should you be offered a position, recruiters can also help you negotiate your contract details.
  

Health care recruiters can help you negotiate the details of your employment contract.

What traits make a great health care recruiter?

Despite the obvious benefits of using medical recruitment services, not all recruiters are equal. There are several key traits that make a great recruiter stand out from the rest, including:

1) Honesty

A good recruiter will be honest and open about expectations and what they can achieve. Leisa Gould, recruiter for Your Doctor Jobs, thinks this is one of the most vital values the business is built on.

”For me, the reason Your Doctor Jobs builds such solid relationships with doctors and medical clients is honesty. We stand for no bullshit, and are always be frank about expectations.”

2) Integrity

Medical recruiters should be willing to stand by their clients and doctors alike, working to find a relationship that will suit both parties. Director and Co-Founder of Your Doctor Jobs Canada Trish Taylor says ”Being passionate about people means wanting the best for them – knowing the role needs to suit the doctor first and foremost.”

3) Trust and openness

Nowadays, a recruiter can be in touch with their clients and candidates at all times, and the best service requires a willingness to pick up the phone for a chat at any time.

”Sometimes you get doctors or clients contacting you at all hours with a problem. It mightn’t be your fault – but own it anyway. Face the problem, have a chat and let them know you care,” says Co-Founder of Your Doctor Jobs Australia Justin Smith.

4) Enthusiasm

Your medical recruiter needs to believe in your ability and can sell you off their own energy. Newest Your Doctor Jobs member Stuart Cooper says ”For me, Your Doctor Jobs is about friendly service. We want to find you the dream job no matter what it takes.”

Picking up the phone and meeting any problems or questions head one is important for good recruitment.

So, is the difference just down to the recruiter?

The right recruiter will help find your dream GP role quicker and more easily than if you go it alone. However, another major part of health care recruitment with a difference is your own commitment to engaging with the process.

Being proactive and communicative about the role you want, where that is and the kind of environment you want to work in is all a big part of finding your ideal doctor job.
